My daughter likes to take our dog for walks but he gets tired on the way home. would the basket hold a 20-25 pnd dog? is it sturdy enough?

While it may be strong enough, I think its too small. I have a 22lb poodle that I wouldn't put in there.

It is very sturdy, but you may not be able to fit a 25 lbs dog in it. It should be able to hold a 15 lbs dog.

It should be able to, however with about 20 -30 pounds in the basket is going to change the way the steering is on the bike.

Hello, I think you will be fine with this dog step, my son (90 lbs) will sit on ours and it is holding up. My dogs are smaller (Jack Russel's) and hit it full speed going into our house and after a year of abuse is still operational.

A small dog will fit, as long as they do not jump. I have a Minpin, thou he is a lil too big for basket plus he was scared.

I think it could work ok. We use it in our pantry, but it is not made to hold too much weight and we have it strapped to the door because the rack can lift and items will fall out the back. I have seen other options since purchasing this that have more of a basket that you might be able to find.

My poodle is under ten pounds. Good for her but for a 24 pounder I don't think so unless your dog is very calm and will sit and stay in the basket. When the dog moves from side to side, it is very difficult to hold the bicycle steady. I use a harness and use two cords from either side to hold her steady. You need to be a solid biker and your dog needs to sit and stay put. good luck

It's pretty sturdy. On the box it states it's recommended for pets between 10-20 pounds.

I am pretty sure it would carry a 16-20lb dog. I got it for my Cockatoo but my Pekingese would fit inside.

Yes very sturdy. Just understand the basket isn't very deep. For groceries I would think you want something deeper.

The basket could easily handle it; it's all about how/where you have it mounted. I have mine wired on to a rear platform rack thing that's attached to my seat post, kind of cantilever style. I don't typically carry more than 20 lbs. in it, but again, it's more about the platform than the basket. If you have one of those platforms that attaches to either side of your rear wheel, it's probably much more stable than what I've got. Hope that helps -

I would guess it would be limited by how much you're willing to pedal around and how much you can fit in the basket. If the basket is installed correctly it is EXTREMELY sturdy and I would trust it with as much weight as I myself can handle. If you're thinking groceries or books I would think the basket would do fine, just balance the weight or you might find yourself overcompensating during a turn.

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.

I haven't tested the fill capacity of this basket yet. The chains on my are nice and thick and unlike other baskets, they are clipped together and not welded to the baskets. Most baskets I have had break at the welds. I currently have had 5 to 8 pounds of items in this basket, depending on the time, and have had no problems. I would think it could handle 10 lbs at least.

It's very sturdy. If your dog/dogs can fit in it, it will hold them. I put my two 15lbs Cavalier King Charles Spaniels together in it, and it worked wonderfully.

It fits just inside the basket. our puppy loved riding in it last summer and it protected her from jumping out. she weighed 7 lbs at the time and after the first awkward feeling of balancing the weight I had no issues. Our pup now weighs 13lbs and has out grown it. I suppose we will now have to sell it. we enjoyed using it so she could be with us.

Probably not. The straps that go across the top reduce the actual size of the basket. My 10 lb dog barely fits.

My cats are all 10-17 pounds and they could all use the basket. It bent a bit under the weight, but you can leave it or bend it back. I had no issues with it breaking or anything like that. They would also sometimes jump into it instead of climbing in and it withstood that too.

As long as you mount it well, I would put 20 llbs easy, maybe more. You could put 2 12packs in and it would hold. The basket is fairly sturdy. I highly recommend.
